Getting started...

Hopelink has been helping to fight poverty in North and East King County in Washington state for more than 35 years. The organization is dedicated to promoting self-sufficiency in all members of our community and providing the tools through which they can make a lasting change. Learn more about our services here. http://www.hope-link.org/takeaction/programs


To better serve our community Hopelink building a new facility in the Kirkland/Northshore area. The site will feature a grocery store-type foodbank, something no other Hopelink facility has featured before! This innovative site will also house a library, classrooms for adult education, as well as a large foodbank featuring produce and dairy cases.
